Apparently according to Heisei Democracythere is going to be a Sengoku Rance Manga. This is one of my favourite if not favourite Eroge, so this is big news for me and all Rance fans I would assume.

Furthermore, Hatsune Miku the star of the overnight sensation that is the Vocaloid series of um..........I guess synthesizers is getting her own Manga according to ANN. Approximately 30 minutes after I predicted it was coming.

It has been quite some time since I last updated this thread, I'll try to return soon...

Anyway, in the mean time, another japanese publisher will start publishing light novels soon
Ichijinsha created a new light novel label that's titled: Ichijinsha Bunko; some of the light novels published under this label will be for boys, and some will be for girls.

In May 20, 2008, iIchijinsha will start publishing light novels for boy's (shounen light novels) under this new label the illustrations for the upcoming boy's light novels look great http://www.ichijinsha.co.jp/special/novels/

Anyway, "." period will most likely be an original yuri light novel guh, why can't some of the boy's light novels that they are publishing be yuri light novels

That's actually a good question. I suppose it has to do with the fact that the readership of their main yuri manga magazine, Comic Yurihime, is 70% female. Last year they launched a male-oriented yuri magazine, Comic Yurihime S, but it's still too early to say how well it's selling among males. So if you think about it, it kinda makes sense for them to release the yuri novels as female-oriented. It's less risky.

Btw, thanks for the heads up about "." (period). Hope it really is a yuri novel; I love Kurogane Ken's artwork

Ahh yeah I guessed that that was the reason behind it

I'm hoping that the readership of their Comic Yurihime S will be mostly males, so that might push them to publish some yuri light novels for boys. I'm hoping they will be updating their site with the male/female readership percentage.

And its good to know that japanese shops don't ignore the fact that its a male oriented magazine; Toranoana puts the magazine in the men's floor anyway, keeping that up might bring more male readership, hopefully...
